it seems false when put this way
what if the people want to outlaw murder?
so it seems the people have a right, indeed a duty, in their pursuit of happiness, to outlaw things they think are bad
but what if the people decide that unlimited fortunes are bad [as they should have done 1000s of years ago, imo, as unlimited fortunes kill 1000s of times more than murder does]
ppl argue that if the people want to outlaw unlimited fortunes, it is wrong, it is invasion of liberty
but what if the people decide [realise, as the founding fathers did, and as every wise person did] that unlimited fortunes are theft, tyranny, the death of democracy, justice, order, law, freedom, peace, happiness, the state [and now, thanks to e=mc2, all humans and all life]
what if the people realise that 'the state built on injustice cannot stand' [roman], that 'equality breeds no strife' [athenian], 'power corrupts' [or: the corrupt seek wealth-power more ardently], the powerful break the law?
